My Dear “Kindred Spirit,” So since absolutely everyone has been asking me for this recipe (and by absolutely everyone I mean two people), I thought it would be a good idea to actually create this recipe, as neither of my absolutely everyone’s were overly impressed with my response to their request for the recipe: “Recipe? … More Sweet Potato/Kale “Chili”
My Dear “Kindred Spirit,” Homemade ice cream. In January. Because I’m just that kind of awesome. And you can be too! A few months ago I bought into a herd share in southern Tennessee, and now every Thursday I go pick up my gallon of milk for the week. Is there anything quite as lovely … More Iceee Creeaammm!!
My Dear “Kindred Spirit,” So I was making supper last night. The Ant comes into the kitchen, sees what I’m cooking, and tells The Uncle: “We’re having gourmet stuffed peppers for dinner!” I gave her one of my famous “looks.” I’ve got a whole arsenal of these “looks,” and they get used quite often. Especially … More Stuffed Peppers (Grain Free)
My Dear “Kindred Spirit,” Now that I’ve been making my own kombucha for… uh… well, it’s been over 2 months now… I figure that I must be enough of an expert to write a post on it!! Yeah… Don’t tell anyone, but I’m really not an expert on kombucha. However, I have made several batches, … More Booch

Maybe it’s just a “faze” I’m in, and I’ll be on to the next thing next month. I really don’t think that’s the … More Soaked Buckwheat Pancakes
My Dear “Kindred Spirit,” Oh dear… When I was eating this for lunch twice last week, the thought of putting it on the blog honestly did not cross my mind. It’s not really a blog-worthy meal. But then at some point the thought of putting it up came to me, and after immediately dismissing the … More Quick, Easy Tuna… Stuff
My Dear “Kindred Spirit,” So, if your read last Monday’s post (you can find it here) you should already know that I love to cook. And that I don’t like to follow recipes (or traffic laws). Although I (usually) find any kind of cooking or baking relaxing and enjoyable (dirtying dishes and messing up the … More Spaghetti Squash “Concoction”
My Dear “Kindred Spirit,” I am very proudly 1/8 Italian. My great-grandfather (Grandpa Joe) was Italian, which means my grandmother (Bema) was 1/2 Italian, making my dad 1/4 Italian, and my siblings and I all 1/8 Italian.
